Ive personally have done about 40 of these conversions , takes about a day from start to start and the little tricks that i know about are 1)cut brake pedal with dye grinder 2)when removing and installing powerplant use floor jack at rear of car to level vehicle ,much easier. 3) just remove 3 bolts on oil filter housing then replace gasket after (turbo models only) 4)leave the motor hooked up to your hoist while changing over trannies and pick up pipes (be very careful of coarse) 5)using an air rachet and 12mm universal socket to remove and put back almost all of the bolts to separate motor from tranny 6) this is the perfect time to inspect and change if needed any belts, pulleys and hoses.
